Roland Model 6 Monoblocks

I owned a pair of the Rowland Model 6 monoblocks a few years back, and thought they were among the best SS amps I've ever heard or owned. IMHO JRDG was at it's peak in the mid to late 90's with the Model 2/6/8/9 series amps. Earlier models were lusher, but thick and a tad slow, while later models were cleaner and clearer, but lacking musical weight. Jeff had it just right for my tastes with the 2/6/8/9 series.

As for power cords, the best I heard with my Model 6's were the Stealth Dream......a bit pricey though. You could spend less and get similar results with a Fusion Enchanter or Elrod EPS-3 Signature. The Fusion will provide more details, the Elrod more bass weight.

Cheers,

Thanks John;any chance you used the amps with the Battery option?

I've heard them with the battery option, but decided against using batteries. The sound was smoother and a bit quiter with the batteries, and that may work in some systems. My speakers are on the warm side of nuetral, and sounded better w/o the batteries, more dynamic and punchy.

Cheers,

I am using a suite of Furutech Evolution II wires on my entire system, including Rowland 312 amp, Criterion pre, and Capri pre with magnificent results. On my Rowland gear Evo II is very extended, appears neutral, and harmonically very textured. Cost is $720 for a 1.8 meter length. Guido
